After Action Report

The Wizards survived the Clippers 119-114. Wizards controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
